Clifford Shull’s three sons have given their father’s scientific papers to his alma mater, Carnegie Mellon University. Shull shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1994. He died in 2001 (see Physics Today, October 2001, page 86 ).
The collection spans Shull’s professional career, from his undergraduate work to his retirement from MIT, where he was on the faculty for 30 years. It includes letters to and from Shull, notes from courses he taught, the first neutron Laue photograph, and records related to his role in the discovery of antiferromagnetism and his work on the crystal structure of ice.
The Shull collection will be preserved and cataloged with the help of a grant from the American Institute of Physics, and digitized with funds from the Shull family. The collection in Carnegie Mellon’s archives is open now to researchers, and is slated to be accessible online in 2006.
